Chandigarh, February 6, 2025 – Raids of the Income Tax (IT) are underway at the residences of Congress MLA and former Punjab minister Rana Gurjeet Singh in Chandigarh and Kapurthala. The searches began early this morning, but it remained unclear whether they were being conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or the Income Tax (IT) department. The teams arrived at his residences here in Sectors 3, 4 and 16 along with his Kapurthala residence. The former minister and renowned businessman has yet to comment on these raids.
No official statement has been issued by Congress leaders regarding the raids. This is not the first time Singh has come under scrutiny; in 2018, his company was also raided by the IT department. The ongoing searches have drawn attention amid the political landscape in Punjab, though further details are awaited.
